About Yogi Bear
Hi there! My name is Yogi Bear,
I may share the name of the famous picnic-loving bear, but as a ginger kitty, I'm much more interested in stealing your heart than stealing picnic baskets!
Besides, cats shouldn't be helping themselves to sandwiches, and for me, all the best snacks come from a food bowl safely indoors anyway. 😸
I'm a sweet and gentle boy who takes a little time to feel comfortable in new situations. New people and unfamiliar places can be a bit overwhelming at first, so I appreciate patient humans who will let me settle in at my own pace. Once I realise you're a friend, you'll discover a lovely, affectionate companion underneath my shy exterior.
A calm and predictable home will help me thrive, and I'd prefer a family with no children under 8 years old, as loud noises and busy little feet can make me feel nervous. Give me a quiet corner, a comfy bed, and some gentle encouragement, and you'll soon see my confidence begin to grow.
As a handsome boy, I need to be indoors only. Not only is indoor life much safer for me, but it also protects my sensitive skin from the sun. Ginger and light-coloured cats can be prone to sun damage and painful sunburn, especially on their ears and nose, so keeping me safely inside is the best way to help me stay happy and healthy.
If you're looking for a gentle soul who just needs a little patience and understanding, I might be the perfect bear - sorry, cat! - for you! 🧡🐻🐱
NEEDS: Indoors Only, No Sun, No Kids (under 8), Cat Companion Required,
